Did you know?

• There are over 1,000 islands and each resort is typically on its own island.

• While you can enjoy a drink at the resorts, the Maldives is a Muslim country, so no alcohol is allowed in places like its capital Male and you can’t bring any duty-free alcohol in.

• Like Thailand, luminescent plankton glows on the beaches at night.

• Consider island hopping to make the most of your time in the Maldives.

• You can swim with whale sharks and get up close to Manta Rays. The best time of the year to do so is around June to September.

• While there can be more rain in certain months, the weather is consistently good all year round.

• Peak travel months are from December to April.

• After you arrive at the airport, you’ll still need to get on a boat or seaplane to get anywhere else.
